< Psalms 3 >
1 A Psalm of David, when he fled from the presence of his son Abessalom. O Lord, why are they that afflict me multiplied? many rise up against me.
Mazmur Daud, ketika ia lari dari Absalom, anaknya. Ya TUHAN, alangkah banyaknya musuhku, sangat banyak yang menyerang aku!
2 Many say concerning my soul, There is no deliverance for him in his God. (Pause)
Ada banyak yang berkata bahwa Allah tak mau menolong aku.
3 But you, O Lord, are my helper: my glory, and the one that lifts up my head.
Tetapi Engkau, ya TUHAN, adalah perisai yang melindungi aku. Kauberi aku kemenangan, dan Kaubesarkan hatiku.
4 I cried to the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy mountain. (Pause)
Aku berseru kepada TUHAN; dari bukit-Nya yang suci Ia menjawab aku.
5 I lay down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help me.
Aku berbaring dan tidur dengan tentram, dan bangun lagi, sebab TUHAN menopang aku.
6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, who beset me round about.
Aku tidak takut kepada ribuan lawan yang mengepung aku dari segala jurusan.
7 Arise, Lord; deliver me, my God: for you have struck all who were without cause mine enemies; you have broken the teeth of sinners.
Selamatkanlah aku, ya TUHAN Allahku, hukumlah dan lumpuhkanlah semua lawanku.
8 Deliverance is the Lord's, and your blessing is upon your people.
Dari Engkaulah datang pertolongan, ya TUHAN, sudilah memberkati umat-Mu.
